What are Ksi and Gram-force/sq. centimeter

Definition of Ksi

Ksi is a unit of pressure standing for 'kips per square inch'. One kip equates to 1,000 pounds-force, making ksi a convenient measure for higher pressure ratings in materials such as steel. It's widely used in engineering fields, especially in the United States, to express tensile strength, yield strength, and other stress measures in large-scale structures.

Definition of Gram-force/sq. centimeter

Gram-force per square centimeter is a metric unit of pressure that is not part of the SI (International System of Units). It measures the force in grams applied over an area of one square centimeter. This unit is commonly used in various scientific contexts, particularly within the field of material sciences and engineering to understand the stress and strain on materials.
